NAME

6       modbus_write_and_read_registers - write and read many registers in a
7       single transaction
8

SYNOPSIS

10       int modbus_write_and_read_registers(modbus_t *ctx, int write_addr, int
11       write_nb, const uint16_t *src, int read_addr, int read_nb, const
12       uint16_t *dest);
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The modbus_write_and_read_registers() function shall write the content
16       of the write_nb holding registers from the array src to the address
17       write_addr of the remote device then shall read the content of the
18       read_nb holding registers to the address read_addr of the remote
19       device. The result of reading is stored in dest array as word values
20       (16 bits).
21
22       You must take care to allocate enough memory to store the results in
23       dest (at least nb * sizeof(uint16_t)).
24
25       The function uses the Modbus function code 0x17 (write/read registers).
26

RETURN VALUE

28       The function shall return the number of read registers if successful.
29       Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno.
30

ERRORS

32       EMBMDATA
33           Too many registers requested, Too many registers to write
